The Fort Worth Zoo is the oldest continuous zoo site in Texas and was founded in 1909. It is the recipient of numerous awards. If that doesn't convince you, we can say with some certainty that the FW Zoo is well loved by Zoe, Coco, Case and Carter and their auntie and uncle too!&nbsp;

The Stockyards are a Fort Worth staple, filled with so much history. There's so much to do. Eat, drink, and shop to your hearts’ content. Don your cowboy hat and wear your boots -- or buy some while you're there!

Fort Worth Stockyards

No reservations taken at Joe T's, but it is always worth the wait! It’s probably one of the few places you can drink their famous margaritas while standing in line! Joe T’s is another Fort Worth staple known for its ambience and its margaritas but take note - -it’s cash only!

The Hotel Drover has delicious food and even better cocktails. Located in the heart of the stockyards, it's a must-see. A boujee cowboy's dream hotel!

If you are feeling your inner cowboy and fancy yourself a nice dinner - check out Reata downtown. This is where Remi and John had their first official date. It’s known for its unique blend of Southwestern, Creole, Southern, and traditional steakhouse cuisine. In our opinion, it has the best chicken fried steaks in town!

The Hyatt Place Fort Worth/TCU hotel is down the street from TCU. Their Lot 12 Rooftop Bar gets you a great view of Fort Worth and you can explore the TCU campus while you are out and about!

Known as the 'World's Largest Honky Tonk’, Billy Bob's is located in the Stockyards area. You can count on great music, good beer, and bad games of pool -- if you're anything like Remi.

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is a botanical garden located in the cultural district of Fort Worth, Texas. Established in 1934, the garden is the oldest major botanic garden in Texas. If it's a good weather day - take a walk through its 109 acres.&nbsp;

The University Pub would have been #1 on our list if it hadn't closed this past May. University Pub was John's favorite bar in college and it is also where he played the role of bouncer from time to time. It definitely deserves an honorable mention. Fuzzy's, Dutch's, and Buffalo Bros surround the old pub, so grab yourself some good food and pour one out for The Pub!
